Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Foundation and how we work with new clients.
What's included in the Foundation package?
+Foundation includes 8 social media posts per month, 2 SEO-optimized blog articles, 2 ad creative sets, monthly strategy calls with Rick and Jamie, basic marketing automation setup, and email support. It's designed as an entry point to test digital marketing without a huge commitment.
Why only a 3-month minimum commitment?
+We know marketing can feel like a big investment when you're just starting. The 3-month minimum gives us enough time to set up your accounts, create initial content, launch campaigns, and gather meaningful data—but it's not a huge long-term commitment. If you love the results (which we're confident you will), you can continue or upgrade to Momentum or Acceleration.
Do I need to spend money on ads separately?
+Yes. The Foundation package fee covers our strategy, content creation, and management services. Your advertising budget ($1,500-$3,000/month recommended) is separate and goes directly to platforms like Google, Facebook, and Instagram. Think of it this way: our fee is for building and managing your campaigns, while the ad spend is what actually puts your message in front of potential customers.
Will I work directly with Rick and Jamie?
+Absolutely. One of our biggest differentiators is that you'll work directly with us—no junior account managers, no outsourcing. Rick and Jamie handle all strategy, content, and campaign management personally. Your monthly calls will be with us, and we'll respond to your emails directly.
How quickly will I see results?
+Month 1 is all about setup—accounts, content creation, and initial campaigns. You'll start seeing traffic and engagement in month 2. By month 3, we'll have enough data to optimize what's working and cut what's not. Digital marketing compounds over time, so patience pays off. We focus on sustainable growth, not quick wins that don't last.
What if I want to upgrade later?
+Easy! Many clients start with Foundation and upgrade to Momentum or Acceleration as they see results and want to scale faster. There's no penalty for upgrading—we'll just adjust your service level and billing. We actually encourage this progression because it means your marketing is working and you're ready to grow.
Do you work with businesses outside of Outdoor Recreation and Healthcare?
+Our core expertise is in Outdoor Recreation and Healthcare, which is where we deliver the strongest results because we genuinely understand these industries. Jamie has 20+ years in healthcare, and Rick lives and breathes outdoor sports. That insider knowledge makes a huge difference. If you're in a different industry, we'll have an honest conversation about whether we're the right fit for you.
How does Foundation compare to your other packages?
+We offer three packages: Foundation (entry-level), Momentum (most popular), and Acceleration (aggressive scaling). Foundation is perfect for testing marketing with a lower commitment, while Momentum and Acceleration offer more comprehensive service for established growth. View our side-by-side comparison to see all features, pricing, and benefits at a glance.
